[QUOTE="parshal, post: 2379063, member: 605"] On that I will add is a long bed gives you options. The 10K I used had a 4’ bed. Everything was done between centers and it was long enough. Now, with the PM1340GT I do most work through the headstock. I’ve yet to wish it had a larger spindle although a little shorter would be nice. 22” is a short as I can effectively go in the headstock. I don’t use the longer bed often but I’d be lost without it. I put barrels between centers to polish. Unless you don’t have the space I’d go for the longest bed you can fit. I’d also second the suggestion abound to get the 12” and spend twice the money on tooling. If money isn’t an option… [/QUOTE]
